Blinded, Bared And Bloodied

Picture this: You've been in love before, and it went so terribly, dangerously wrong that you spend years of your life crafting an inpenetrable barrier around your heart. A shell of stone. You are safe here, walled off as you are.

Eventually, your best defences are breached by a clever soul, with a clever heart capable of making yours beat itself loose. Fissures appear in the stone and everything you hid within it is freed. There you stand: blinded, bared and bloodied by the perfect drug.
